Seven nights a week the ■Winter. Oat^ 
den and tbo Apollo (the only two pUUMi 
In Berlin where vaudeville holds the 
boards) are Jammed fo the roof — and 
the overflow from each house always 
big enough to" All another. The acts are 
all received with enthusiastic applause. 
So far as surface iodlcations go vaude- 
ville has a hold on the Berlin playgoer 
quite aa strong as in New York. Yet 
'the -paradox of having no^tnore houses 
for vaudeville than for grand opera con- 
tinues in the face of the fact that the 
exlattng demand would support iMt least 
ail^their pair .«C ''ball^

Veep more than two Berlin houses .ce^ 
Ing, so long as the rest of ths German 
circuit has to be supplied. Germany's 
live-year isolation from the rest of tbe_ . 
world has stripped her of vaudeville' 
artists almost to the same extent as it 
bas denied her white flour. With Amer- 
itan, English, French, Italian, Japanese 
and Russian performers lacking from 
German vaudeville bills, it is perhaps** 
less ■ incomprehensible that patrons of 
vaudeville In Berlin should be confined 
iigt^Itwo theatres in which this, style of 
. J^;^oS=i^tertainment is olTered. ; • '

lack of vaudeville talent la the trw^n n . - 
dous growth/ of the so-caUed Kabarette 
form of show — a craze that baf swfept 
aU Germany from Hamburg to Munich. 
.In Berlin alone there are no feWer than 
twenty of these combined theatre-res- 
taurant-dance-halls. They differ from 
the American cabaret such as Churchill 
or Shanley offers New York, in that the 
entertainment ia as '•legitimate" as a 
vaudeville bill and presented in the 
flame fashion — with scene changes, pro- 
,.ii^riunmes and all the other accessories 
■iqi 'a regular variety show. The fact 
t^it. the audience is seated at tables 
iutd;:«ither dinibg X>r supping does not 
.lectte to. interfere, with the performance. 
'4%is.iliay be due, of course, to the char- .

"Adam and Bra" is a solid hit at iSba 
Longacre, and "Civilian Clothes" is neai^ 
ly as strong at the Morcsco. "Scandal,* 
at the Thirty-ninth Street, is playing to 
nearly $13,000 weekly, a record for this 
house, and only possible because of a $3 
scale. "Nightie Night" finds a capacity 
draw at the little Princess. "She Would 
and She Did" holds up as a money getter 
at the Vanderbilt. "Llghtnln" " is still 
a capacity attraction at the Gaiety and 
is the run leader from last season. "The 
Five Million" holds on'weU at. the Xiyrio, 
but will probably mo«i>'««iir W-a-auailer

tioned as a i^bable successor. "Up 
from Kowhertf* isn't going strong enough 
at^the.Conwdy and U likely to be forced 
out this week or next. "First Is Last" 
spurted a bit last week, but its success 
is still in doubt. A farce called "Katy's 
Kisses," which blew into the Greenwich 
Village Theatre last week lines up as 
the weakest of aH, aafl wffl sovOy taaip 
after this week. 

Definitely due to go out Saturday are 
"Monte Cristo, Jr.," from the Winter 
Garden, with the "Gaieties of 1919" mov- 
ing, over from the Forty-tourtb Street 
for three weeks, until the new "Passing

this week>. "Moonlight and HoneyraOkle,'' 
with Ruth Chatterton. starting Monday 
at the Henry Miller; "The Gold Dig-

Tuesday: "The Storm," at the Forty- 
eighth Street, Wednesday; "The Dancer," 
at the Harris, and the new Midnight 
Frolic, at the New Amsterdam Roof, 
Thursday, and 'Where's • Your Wife," 
at the Punch and Judy. 

Next week's long list of premieres, 
four of which at least are slated for 
Monday night, are: "Declasse," with 
Ethel Barrymcre, at the Empire; B. H,

. Out of the 85 attractiona playing 
Broadway at this time the theatre 
ticket agencies are holding buys for 19. 
The "buys" that were added this week 
were one of 400 seats a night for "The 
Gold Diggers," and for 30O seats a night 
for "Moohltgha'and Honeysuckle" at the 
Miller. It was rather a surprise to 
Broadway generally to learn that David 
Belasco bad. at last consented to a buy 
by the agencies fOv ttae of bis-attrac- 
Ucms. ~ - ■■■■ • '• ■

Joe Leblang the other seats that they 
held. The buy, however, made it pos- 
sible for the attraction to hold on for a 
couple of weeks and show almost four 
figures nightly. The piece is due to 
go out Saturday nest .week, and then the 
specs will be .relieved of one week's hold-

"Roly-BoIy BIyea" Is described as a three- 
act musical comedy with book, and lyrics by 
Edgar Allan 'Wolff and music by Eddy Brown 
and Xouis Qruenberg. There Is nothing to

" i)iirlng the week Just past the cases 
of L.eo Nevrman and Joseph Cohen, both 
spisculators, came up on appeal before 
Judge Rosalsky. Both of the men had 
been arrested for an alleged violation of 
the new ordinance and convicted by Mag- 
istrate Nolan. Louis Marshall, attorney 
^^fMr'thedefendantB, asserted the ordinance 
^>^jnui unconstitutional and that the Board 
^''-^llC'iiilderinen lacked Jurisdiction to enact 
Bueh pttivlsions in _aa mnUnance. The 
Judge reserved dedsien pendtag ntaafs- 

to have been a teat 



allowed premium clear, for the purchaser 
of the seat pays the 6-cent tax on that, 
as he pays the' war tax on the box .oAw 
price, but on the excess amount. ' 

Last week the Jewish holidays . toward 
the week end held a r^ord for the prices 
asked and received for theatre tickets 
about town. . Everybody was out to go to 
the theatre, and tl2 and $15 a pair for 
• :$^t8 for the performances about town 
were common. But no one in an ofnclal. 
capacjtty seemed, to . ctue .who got the 
HMney or bow.inncii imi jaid.

saw <»ii3r'dne way out for t&e maangere, 
and that was the cutting off of the spee-- 
iilators entirely.. He said that this quee« 
tion was one that would be taken. Up by 
the Producing Managers' Association be- 
fore the current season was ended. 

In a great measure, however, the pub- 
lic and not the speculator is to blame for 
the high prices and the violations of the 
' law. Standing in one agency Tuesday 
of thifc week several instances were wlt- 
ne.ssed where a would-be purchaser of 
scats gave orders that tickets would 
have to be secured in certain locations 
no matter what the cost.mts. Several 
like instances were wltaeawd to another 
agency, only here the agency refused to 
act In the capacity of shopping broker, 
and the buyer was fotoed to. go elae^ 
where.

manager wants to nlse his 12 scale to 

13 or $3.50, as has been done by some, 
why should he not do it at the bof office 
' ° in preference to allowing the specs to 
raise it to f4. S5 or more without the 
manager being declared in? It seems 
evident to many the public Is willing to 
pay the box-ofllce price for a hit attrac- 
tion, whereas they mentally berate the 
theatre if obliged to give up high pcfcM 
through the ticket agencies.

AND VAUDEVILLE SHOf REVIEWS 



ftAinffiBBaL 



Bill Quald Is tondng tb«m away as 
usual at the Vtfib Avenue; the first 
bale of bia absw Is np to the usual high 
aveiaca eC tUs bouse. At 8:16 when 
the first of the vaudevlllians walked on 
they were standing around in back of 
the ropes. The "Fashion Minstrels" 
are the topllners and the girls shiihm'ed 
their way Into instantaneous favor. 

Kolan and Nolan, one of the best 
Juggling , acta in the gaipe. opened, and 
wm .followed by Cayansgh. and Tpmp- 
kta* a liew aet, to songs and talk.- - 

ZHsie Schuyler in the dress and 
evolutions, with some elabontta 
robe, was in third position. 

Dale and Burch, a clever man and 
woman, were fourth. They have a 
clever skit in "one" called "The Hiding 
JKaster," and their dancing at the flnlsh/ 
rpMlad" tbea. 

BMie Heron and company ta "The 
Raveling Salesman" made them laugh 
with his uproariously f unny sketch. It's 
a great little comedy idea and capably 
bandied. 

- Bert Grant an.d Bill Jones, the song 
writer and singer, pulled down the hit 
of. t^e show fMlowing. They, cang oodles 
«C aaw aunian end ware ftread to a 
recitation.

Memory may recall' the presentation 
of tbe play at the Ifaslne Elliott Thea- 
tre when Its creator was still alive. At 
the time the vehicle and its commercial 
^.iluation proved an unequalled puzzle 
tp. its sponsors. For one week Its re- 
oelpts were more than the avarage, yet 
another It did not do Quite so well, and.

And in ita prese n t version it still has 
that gripping appeal; that same fasclr - 
nation for the weak yet strong Wilbur 
Emerson, who shoulders tbe resi>onsI- 
bility of all to save bis father and even 
one of his errantly yellow partners from 
tbe living hell of prison bars. 

There is a difference here, however, 
of the Wilbur £bn«raBa-.8a tataepvelei 
by Harry T. Horey.and-ma-aBaw-ataar- 
acter as played by George Nash to tbe 
original. The latter was suave, a par- 
lor-kind of flhancier. Horey's version 
is different He suggests here the finan- 
cier as a warriw, a gambler that fasci- 
nates and wins the sympathy of his 
auditors, or as in this case, of wit- 
nesses, rather than their contempt be- 
cause of cleanliness of motive. '

Sam Taylor and lAden BttUiavd: 'tts

been added numerous scenes, but to tbia 
case. Instead of detracting and leavtog 
absurd gaps in the action, b<Mstsr.1ip a 
succession of episodes that are ONMt 
flawless In their continuity. 

The story Is unchanged from tbe orig-

absorbed Wilbur. She mantes, Impul- 
sively, the district attorney, and then 
regrets her choice. And her husbancT, 
described in the literature of the titles 
"as a nan of deep passions," ia Insti- 
gated by a Jealous motive to trap her

Before Judge Julius M. Mayer in the 
Federal Circuit Court yesterday, (Wed- 
nesday) the Protective Amusement 
Company, Inc., filed a. petition . for a 
restraining order against the Patbe Ex- 
change Inc; Judge Mayer directed that 
that motion be placed on the October 
calendar for argument at an early date. 

The order is to prevent the Pathe 
Company from exploiting the film "A 
Japanese Nightlhgaleu"^ which had been 
dramatized and placed In fl&o form. from 
the book of the same name written by 
Mrs. Wlnltred Babcock, undei- her noin 
de plittM of **Onoto Watanna." In the 
conq^UlBt filed Iqr the TroteeflVe Com- 
pany tlMjF'idalBi that Oib esfvjO^.

Companlni m'iuiaiaiBaiit tti IMS^aoM 
Patrick J. Casey the rights to jwodaoo' 
tho story in film form; and tat tttrn 
Casey sold It to the Protective <!om- 
pany. Early last year, the complaint 
reads, the Protective people 'earned that 




the Pathe Company had been- exploiting 
the film in various parts of the country 
and deriving a large revenue from the 
use of the picture. They ask that be- 
sides the restraining order the defen- 
dant company be required to account 
to the plaintiff for the moneys' earned 
by its use. 

The defendant corporation denies that 
the Protective Company has the sole . 
right to use the film and announce their 
intention to continue Its ezplottailont 
Tbay acknowledge that they have been 
'Waiiillliig the picture and give {ta a 
reason U)^t they purchased th«! rights 
to the same from Darcy and 'Wolfotd, 
rli^ to the produetba tirom Coaey.

TWIN PAWNS. 

Mac Murray's- latest starring production gives 
her an opportunity to piny a double role. Tha 
picture Is a Leonce Ferret production adapted 
for .the screen from "Tho Woman In White" 
by VrUk(9 ColUna. It is a rather wearying 
ta cWar. 4m. abt loata that •ma tha gamut from 
tho alnaa to Mgh iaetolr Mid cvan geoa ao far 
aa to have the old. oil anb*Uila of "'Wife In 
Name Only." Aa a ratlvro pleturi It falls, to 
rank with the premnt good preductlona on tbe 
market. 

Tbe story la that of twin alatera. Tbe father 
and mother separated, each taking cn*i of the 
girls. On her deathbed the wife confldes bejr 
.story t,o a gambler. .She haa- nonken to tha 
daptba of poverty wb'tla tha huhbami has ilaan 
to hK tha hoad. «C a'thnoua alaci wrtn. Tha 
pimblar aanda tha Uri te .allheal, 'liMka up tba 
steel man, gets Into hla eonfldenee and Ann II y 
marries the girl, although she la in love with 
another man. It la alt pn^ of a campaign that' 
the gambling man has laid out ttr Maielf to 
. obtain control of the steel plant. 

He Is aware the one daughter at school has 
a weak heart. So he takes her from school 
and ptaoaa har lit bto teuntor homa^ Maaii< 
tbaa ha haa bnaghi his wlfk' te Haw York 
and drugged her, framing an Inwalty* oharga 
and shipping ber off to an aaylnm;- 4ha girl 
with the weak heart' Is hla* nest victim. He 
does a ghost stunt for her benefit and she 
passes out ot tha picture, he palming off hor 
dead body as tlint of his wife. (He waa the 
busiest guy over when It came to villainy.) 
HMWWV tba. jmng hero gets id bla private 
eOWt- gad boats him to a f nuala, attar wMeh 
ha inwafHUir tepplaa fNm a wtadav tad tha 
end dada him with a htaek Maakal' over Mb 
face. 

The picture Is one of the real old fashioned 
thrillers. In It Misa Murray gets a chance to 
pray all over the lot. In the scene at her com- 
ing out party ahe oven forgot herself to the 
aactant of ImVing her hair down her back. 
' Other than Iflaa Murray. Mr. Olnnd is the 
only one ta the oaat wha gaA. a' ptrftnaaaea

Chicago's newest thorotighflu^ Uie

For the first time In Chicago's his- 
tory, the motor playgoer will enter a 
playhouse at a different level than the 
pedestrian. Automobiles will use tho 
sub-street below the raised boulevard 
And oil the Grand .avenue level, where 
'there' Is space for parking. Special 
elevators and etalrways wlU lead to the 
foyer. ^

' ' r-gaalzatlona. 

V All told there are about 360 separate 
- outfits making pictures in Germany at 
: the present time. Painstaking inveatl- 

Stioas forced me to the conclusion that 
r of these ooncenu ought not to be In 
M>iuinesa In tt>o same class as the 
iAinerlcaa so-called "independent" pro- 
ducers they are actually doing their best

: spoken drama (and It most assuredly 
did) the results on the screen are past 
description. 

One of the most striking examples of 
this class of pictures — most striking be- 
' cause it Is doing tbe biggest business of 
any film In Germany today — is a five- 
reel featiure entitled "OUterent From the 
Rest." The dUTerence referred to has to 
■ do with the hero (!) of the unspeakably 
f.ti--.iBMty story— a degenerate creature who 
^:^{ v.l^Iorles in bis "aSalap. with youtha It

especially projected for me in thetf own 
jl. projection rooms. 

The average release turned out by any 
1^' on<i of these three companies is equal to 
tiie best features being produced in 
America today, One super feature, 
made by Decla, and not yet completed, 
aCems to my eye a step ia advance of 
anythiifg ever filmed anywhere before. 
If the opportunity ever offers itself I am 
of the opinion that thh great D. W. 
' Griaith himself will be quick to say that 
it outdoes anything he ever managed to 
put on the screen.

Holland and the Scandinavian coun-

so far as discovering German taste In 
films and educating film fans to demand

it seems reasonabfe to r pose that

there Is little likelihood of any of these

6. Generally speaking, however, . 
lean films, can never obtain a footing In 
Germany so long as the existing rule of 
subordinating everything to an exploita- 
tion of the star continues — ^because Ger- 
man film audiences demand first of all 
logical, Interesting, well-constructed 
dramas, and' so long as they ieure ade- 
quately cast and directed it doesn't mat- 
.ter at all to tbem who the actors or 
who Cbo dttactor amy be.

in Germany today eveiry demand made 
by representative American authors upon 
American-^film producers (demands that 
to date have been laughed at by the pro. 
ducers) is taken as a matter of course 
by the German producer. In the Ger- 
man film industry they don't put quota- 
tion marks around "the play's the thing." 
■They take tbe Shakespearean maxim 
literally. 

To cite a concrete example that, came 
under my notice I take one of the most 
reeent nleases of the Munchner Ucht- 
apMkiiiiBt^ ,a* flve-reel drama entitled

not be worth filming produced about tlia

Pickford might not be able to act! 

Any of a score of authors writing for 
the pictures In Germany today receive 
a guaranteed annual income of anywhere 
between $40,000 and |IOO,000 a year. The 
highest paid flbn star In Germany today 
gets exactly $80,500. Host of the filha

Ganghofer made more money out of 
this one picture than stars, director and

Camera men are counted of greater im- 
portance than either star or director! 
There Is no lack of either actors or dl- 
. rectors for Geman film makers to choose 
from. But camera men are few. And 
aa for authors— well, the demand for 
their exclusive services makes the posi- 
tion of American film stars look like 
nothing at all in comparison!

'Whether the managers want to or not; 
it i* to their interest to do so. If the 
$2 theatre is now 12.50 and going to %t 
or 13.50, why not have the public satis- 
fied with those prices? They would 
likely be quite agreeable to paying the 
amount at the box offlce. They have 
jMild more to the specs and through the 
eztortloit became iftcensed at the spec 
and theatre as well. If the ttekets were 
on sale at the. box ofilce^ the fwa|fd* iTMlfUl^ 
go there and buy them. 



production cost before the show opened, 
through .the specs purchasing large 
blocks ot seats fcir four or eight weeks, 
paying in bulk \a admnce. It guaran- 
teed in a way a nightly sale and this 
was the single advantage, unless tbe

"A ijother who has no child— an artist with-

calls lAdy Helen Haden, tho character portrayed 
by Etbol Banrymore to SSoe Aklna' plior. "B«-

tbe Stellar character to Oalsworthy's piece played

In ether leapacts It to entirely dlRere&t and can- 
not be regarded aa an Imitation, a parcphrase or

doesn't class with the Galsworthy piece; but as 
a character drawing and drama, 4t Is superior.

Majcstie, CUeago. • 

Chicago, Oct 8. 
Opening cold .after an absence of 
months from vandeville and years from 
Chicago vaudeville. Irene Franklin shot 
an (ihtirsiy new act. Her routine is 
daring, even revolutionary. Appearing 

■ In' a straight gown she got a generous 
hand, and sang a little lntrpductl<^ 
about her old successes and. tektiv

Barton Creen, In his nsaal straightfor- 
ward and tricitlssfl style, Irene watted 
In as a little ghetto child; as good a 
make-up characterization as her old 
Janitor's child. She sang a heart- 
touching little thing In Yiddish accent 
of a poor kid bringing a rent receipt, 
the family's most precious possession, 
to her teacher for a Christmas gift 
(Adapted from a Myra Kelly story.) 
Her intonations were, kosher save for 
an occasional slip that only brought 
back Irene Franklin without hurting 
the character. The piece de resistance 
of the musical strain was "Roslnkes 
mit Mandeln," a Jewish classic lullaby. 
The Bumbe^ dropped' just a mite at the 
end, bavliig clutched the heart mightily 
until ^en< but never sagged enough to 
prevent a hMTy band. She.ttieaoluijiCed

She aid a i^ndi girl greeting SanUhy. 
but she did It, oh,^ so differently; and 
the . song was so different, too. She 
got laugh after laugh and rounded it 
all out with a true French music hall 
dance which shone iridescent In the 
warm rays of her Individuality, her dis- 
orderly colors and her flushing magnet- 
isnpi of person. Half a dosen recalls 
after the curtain fell were her portion. 
It started her on her way across the 
Orpbeum tour with the settled fact 
that she has an entirely new act as 
strong as the best of her old ones. And 
that seemed unlikely again after the 
numy knockout blows she had landed In 
tho vaudeville ring. This young woman 
is original and has :t]|«. soul of the true 
comedienne, seasoniht: With a dash of 
quaint pathos her oommentarie/ on 
contemporary life viewed from indtil- 
gently satirlq. angles. Green gives hw. 
a backgrounl^ot dignity which she ' 
Illuminates by. qule^. jMMnt Mm

Fonnetly of Laurie and'*ronson, Joe

he liyes, Mr. Laurie remarks to the au- 
Meniee'~ Ms parents are .' la the wings

has been talking and singing for 12

minutes "they remain there, without 
speaking, that a Iwre percentage of the 
lay audience properly grasps the situa- 
tion. It finishes off the Laurie turn so 
differently it Is bound to esUblish him. 
Previously In the talking section, Mr. 
Laurie runs lightly along, speaking 
about almost everything, but not la the 
conventional BtyIeb;makUig one blunder 
only, tellhig of his irlrl— that If the audi- 
ence tuns him out a winner he will 
then secure engagements and make

by a pianist Who is a corking musician, 
and quite an asset to the aot Opening 
with an introductory song she wears a 
becoming opera oloak which, when dis- 
carded, reveals a green evening gown. 
She exhibits a pleasing soprano voice 
and an impressive range, but her upper 
register could stand a little toning down. 
The volume attained la reniaifeahly

The Actors' Equity filed a protest

In view of the foregoing concessions, 
the Equity has set up the claim that,
